“Shh, it was only a dream.”
“Not that. I was out of my mind with fright today. Of losing you. Of how I thought you would want me gone. Of living my life without you.” I trembled.
He brushed the backs of his fingers across my cheeks. “Never! I don’t ever want you gone. That dream messed with you. What was it?”
“He was chasing me and caught me. I tried to fight him off, but you woke me in time.”
“Then I’ll always have to wake you in time.”
I clasped my hands together and twisted them. I looked at him and then back at my hands.
“What?” he asked. He knew me better than I knew myself.
“We have to tell your family.”
He scrubbed his face and sat up against the headboard of the bed. Pulling me against him. “I know. I’m going to do it.”
“No, I am.”
“I don’t think ...”
I cut him off by holding my hand out. I picked up one of his hands and placed it over my heart. “This is yours. Forever. But I won’t have us get in the way of your relationship with your family. I’ve never had that. I envy what you have with them. It’s my responsibility to tell all of them, including Avery. I’m the one who did it. I’m the one who fucked up. Not you.”
He pulled me on his lap and put his forehead against mine. “I’ll do it if you can’t. I’ll be with you to hold your hand and whatever else you need me to do.”
“Pearce, can I ask you something and will you answer me honestly?”
“Yeah, always.”
“Do you still love me? I mean really love me?”
“Of course, I do.”
“When we make love, when we’ll be together naked, and I’ll have my mouth on you everywhere, and my tongue on you, will you be able to love me like you did before today?”
Without hesitation he answered, “Yes, because the girl I saw in that DVD wasn’t my Alexia. She may have looked like her, but, honey, that wasn’t you. Do you hear me?”
I nodded, got up, and went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth. I crawled back into bed next to him and kissed him. I needed him more than I ever needed him before. I had to prove to myself things were okay between us. If they weren’t, I would leave tonight and save him the humiliation of dealing with his family.
I was afraid … afraid he wouldn’t want me. When I kissed him, I was shy, like it was the first time I’d ever kissed anyone.
He picked up on it immediately. “Oh God, Alexia. You really don’t believe me, do you?” His tone deepened, striking a chord in me. “Then I guess I’m just gonna have to show you.”
He pushed me on my back and dragged himself up my body, creating a serious case of shivers. This time it wasn’t due to that disgusting DVD, but to my response to his action. Then he unbuttoned and unzipped my jeans and slid them off my hips. The cool air hit my skin and goose bumps erupted all over my flesh. He skimmed his hand across my stomach and teased my belly button with his tongue.
“Give me your hand,” he commanded in a sexy whisper.
I held it out to him, and he pressed it against his cock. “Does this feel like someone who doesn’t want you?” Then he unzipped his pants, and his erection sprang free and he wrapped my hand around it. “Now what do you think?”
My panties disappeared and I didn’t even notice because my heart clanged against my ribs so loudly, leaving me gasping like a woman in the middle of an asthma attack.
“Kiss me,” he demanded.
I sat up and did as he instructed. Everything I had in me leapt to attention from one single kiss. Not only was my hand wrapped around him, but my body was coiled around his pinky. He had complete control of me and it left no doubt that he wanted me as desperately as I did him.
His hands, his mouth, and his tongue were doing things to me I had never experienced with him before. I thought he’d done everything, but I was wrong. He had many more surprises up his sleeve. His teeth left tiny marks in inconspicuous spots that I didn’t find until days later, and when I did, I just grinned.
By the time he slid inside me, I was in tears, begging him for it. When he did, he did it with the single-minded devotion of ensuring I understood he was with me in body, mind, and soul. In all the times we had been together and of all the times we’d had sex, I’d never felt as loved as I did that night.
